When someone asks you to do something you do not want to do, what should you do ? I think it’s better to  more time on some useful activities. So you needn’t waste your time. Maybe it’s a     idea to say “no” at this time. However, you may worry that others will think you impolite or unkind.     should you do? Here are some suggestions that may help you.
It’s OK to make up white lies. That doesn’t mean you are dishonest.   , it may make both you and the other person pleased and comfortable. When you are invited to a party or some other events that you do not want to take part in, you can say, “No, but thanks for the invitation. That’s very kind of you.”      this way you can not only refuse politely but make the person who invites you feel comfortable.
When you don’t want to lie, just tell the truth. You may say like this, “ I want to have more time for myself, I’ve decided to say ‘no’ to these activities.” In this way, people will see that you respect yourself, and then they will also pay you much respect.
My last  is to just do it. You may feel uncomfortable at first, but this is not the reason for saying “no”. Never make anything more complicated (复杂的)than it is.
Feel proud of   for being strong enough to say “no”.
